Khan scuffle with Lo Greco halts press conference

Amir Khan's pre-fight press conference with Phil Lo Greco was abandoned after a scuffle broke out between the fighters.

Both fighters were present at the Hilton hotel in Liverpool ahead of Khan's highly-anticipated return to boxing at the Echo Arena, Liverpool, on April 21, live on Sky Sports.

The pair traded insults in the early stages, but it reached a climax when the Canadian made comments about Khan's wife and family, with the former world champion appearing to throw a glass of water over the 'Italian Sensation'.

Each of the fighters' entourage had to be separated by the security team as tempers frayed, with undercard fighters Sean Dodd and Tommy Coyle - dressed as Batman and Superman - attempting to separate both parties.

There was bad blood between the fighters before the conference after Lo Greco started a war of words on social media.

Khan, who has spent two years out of the ring, has signed a three-fight deal with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom boxing with the 31-year-old still holding ambitions of regaining a world title at welterweight.
